Deathy Dialogues

A Rawz Coaching Discussion Club

I didn’t know what to expect, and I’m walking away from the Deathy Dialogues with a sense of lightness and shared humanity.

Stephanie Jalove, Coach

Confront your fears...

There is a profound liberation – an often-surprising freedom – that comes from moving toward that which evokes anxiety in us. With a light touch and focus on each individual’s experience and needs, Deathy Dialogues invites you to do just that: Move toward what are, for many of us, our deepest sources of fear:

  • Aging,
  • Dying & Death,
  • Loss & Disillusionment, and/or
  • Our control, and our lack thereof...

Trade those fears for:

  • Greater courage and resourcefulness for navigating difficult thoughts, feelings, and conversations,
  • Rooting into a sense of purposefulness in exploring mortality,
  • Their own wise guidance for experiencing greater aliveness, and
  • Agency in the midst of the many uncontrollable realities of life.

Sound like stuff you want? Participants have shared these takeaways and more.

What are Deathy Dialogues?

Facilitated by longtime coach and death positivity advocate SB Rawz, Deathy Dialogues are a six-part conversation stirring key conversations for mortals. During each session, we:

Death and Stuff Icon
develop resources for being productively uncomfortable
Death and Stuff Icon
explore each session’s theme in small group conversations
Death and Stuff Icon
invite ideas to blossom into next steps during full-group sharing

By the end of each 60-minute dialogue, each person takes away their own deepened connection with themselves, a fuller picture of one another, and their own wise guidance on self-honoring actions stemming from the conversation.

Here's what to expect.

Session 1
Preparing Together for the Conversations Ahead:

Tools for navigating discomfort and an exploration of this particular brand of discomfort itself

Session 2
Aging is Just a Thing:

Shifting our relationship with age and aging, one story at a time

Session 3
Bodies are Temporary Shelters:

Appreciating the biological suits that house us even as they move toward their own obsolescence

Session 4
Death isn’t Theoretical:

Nope, not even yours; imagining this unimaginable reality together

Session 5
Change is the Only Constant:

All of your beloved beings, all of your most precious things, will someday not be yours; an exploration of impermanence

Session 6
Life Post-Dialogues:

Taking the ah-hahs out of the Dialogues and into your heightened aliveness

Who are these for?

Deathy Dialogues were shaped for thinking, feeling, curiosity-filled, fear-experiencing mortals. Feel familiar? Also too vague? How about:

Work Groups

Because the old standards for team building are hitting like stale toast.

Book Clubs

Our life lenses are what shapes our perspective of art, after all. (Even if the art is smutty romance.)

Spiritual Community

Every religion and philosophy has its take on life & death, but what’s yours?

Family (Given or Chosen)

If these are the people most likely to see you out of this life, wouldn’t it help to know how you’re all thinking about the big transition?

Gather up to 18 people for an experience that will deepen mutual understanding, forge greater closeness, and provide insights to last a lifetime. (Well, what’s left of it, anyway.)

You can’t take it with you.

Group fees depend on:
  • There is a profound liberation—an often-surprising freedom—that comes from moving toward that which evokes anxiety in us.
  • With a light touch and a focus on each individual’s experience and needs, Deathy Dialogues invites you to do just that.
  • Move toward what are, for many of us, our deepest sources of fear.
Fees are based on the size of the group, your unique configuration of Deathy Dialogues, and location. And accessibility is a core value of SB’s. Reach out and we’ll make it work for your group.

You bring the bodies, SB will bring:

  • Accessible, soul-stirring conversational prompts
  • Insights to tie together individual contributions
  • Optional bonus content to support the session themes
  • Post-session recaps to have and hold, ‘til death do you part

These sessions always go fast. I’m a sponge and could soak up more.

death + stuff

Death and Stuff Icon
Add this existential ice breaker to your weekend plans
If your loved one chose to be buried under a fruit tree, would you later eat the fruit? Why or why not?
Death and Stuff Icon
It’s the only time we root for death
We tend to consider a “successful” relationship one that lasts until one of the members of the partnership dies.
Death and Stuff Icon
It takes the time it takes
It took me 14 months to entertain the idea of forgiving myself for not being able to read her mind during the final hours of her life.

Let's connect.

I’d love to have a few minutes to get to know you and understand your goals and current challenges. I take a no-pressure approach and would never do you the disservice of making this a sales call.
Death and Stuff Icon
Coaching is a tool, not a crutch.
You are creative, resourceful and whole. You’re not curious about coaching because you’re incapable of your own accomplishments but because something in you knows that your bigger life and badder self will become all the more accessible with the support of a well-versed, caring outside perspective.
Death and Stuff Icon
Coaching is an investment, not an extravagance.
No doubt, your time, money and attention are all in high demand. Focusing on your own development, though, is like upgrading to a hyper-efficient HVAC system for your home; the upfront investment will lead to savings and eco-goodness for years to come. The upfront investment in your bigger life and badder self means more energy, more focus, and a more refined vision that will serve you and all of your other priorities for the long haul.
Death and Stuff Icon
SB is a coach, not a sales person.
When you schedule an initial conversation with SB, she doesn’t crack her knuckles and put on her game face. She cracks her notebook and puts on her curiosity – about who you are, what you need, and whether collaborating with her might be a good resource for you. Of course, she hopes you’ll get along like peas and carrots but she never tries to turn a rutabaga into a pea.
